I am a commoner, but I will lead the empress to unify the world

Chapter 557 Yang Hongying's Feelings

Yu Ziling's face instantly turned red, and the shame and grievance in her eyes seemed to be flowing out like water.

This damn guy, if I don't listen to him, who knows what he will do next.

"Think about it."

Yu Ziling's voice was as small as a mosquito.

"How much I want to."

"Shen Changgong, please stop talking!"

"Say or not?"

"Oh, you, I'll tell you tonight."

Shen Changgong smiled and asked again,

"Why are you attacking the Wei fortress?"

Yu Ziling's complexion returned to normal and she said,

“In fact, I’ve long discovered that our Shenji Battalion is far inferior to the Shenji Battalions of other armies. Their troops have been trained through battles with their own officers, while mine are all new recruits, and they can’t fire accurately.

I also felt embarrassed to ask them for other people's personnel. After all, they were a complete battalion and were familiar with each other's cooperation.

I just wanted to practice the Shenjiying by myself.

At the beginning, I took them to shoot in the uninhabited mountains, but after firing two shots, I felt heartbroken.

These shells are so expensive, it would be a shame to waste them like this. After all, they were transported thousands of miles from Shengjing.

But you can’t do without practice.

Then I thought, since we are going to fire cannons anyway, why not use the Wei forts to practice?

This will allow us to practice artillery fire and familiarize the soldiers with accuracy. Secondly, we can destroy the enemy's forts, killing and wounding their soldiers. This will prevent the forts from connecting to Fengling Pass, preventing timely transmission of intelligence, and creating a large loophole in their defenses. This will also save a lot of resistance for future attacks."

Shen Changgong nodded and said,

"Yes, you are indeed my wife. You are very clever. You are using enemy soldiers to practice artillery. The King of Hell woke up and fell to second place on the list."

"What?"

"How many strongholds have been destroyed during this period?"

Shen Changgong asked with a smile.

"There are more than 80 strongholds, and we have destroyed more than 50 of them. We should be able to destroy them all before the autumn harvest.

These Wei soldiers are now scared. When they see us coming, they run away immediately, leaving their forts and strongholds behind. They are shouting something like "The King of Hell is coming", but I don't understand what they are saying.

Now we can only attack forts, not people.

They will also repair the fort, but our scouts are keeping an eye on them. If any of them dares to repair it, I will immediately pull the cannon over and fire a few shots at them.

Over time, they didn’t even dare to repair it.”

"Amazing! You are worthy of being the Living King of Hell of Dayan."

Shen Changgong gave a thumbs up sincerely.

"If you keep doing this, the Wei army must be very angry. Aren't you afraid that the Wei army will come and beat you up?"

"It's okay. I borrowed a few hundred Zhennan soldiers from the Southern King to support the battle. If the enemy comes in small numbers, we can attack them directly. If they come in large numbers, the Zhennan soldiers will move around to cover our retreat and we will retreat quickly.

If they dare to chase them, the large group of Zhennan Army will rush out to wipe them out.

They are all enemies anyway, and there is no possibility of negotiation, so we are not afraid of minor conflicts."

"Oh, our handsome fish is so smart. Great! Come and let your husband give you a kiss as a reward."

"Pah, pah, pah, go away. I've finally been quiet for half a year, and here you are again."

Yu Ziling complained, but the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

A moment later, the artillery fired two more shots, and the fort two miles away collapsed.

It was already evening by this time. Yu Ziling returned to her horse and everyone hurried back.

Shen Changgong rode his horse slowly while speaking to the person behind him,

"Hongying, come to the front and talk."

Yang Hongying immediately rode forward.

"What's wrong, Your Majesty?"

"After the New Year, this king and His Majesty went to the Western Army camp and met Su Wuan."

Hearing this name, Yang Hongying's pretty face turned red and she said,

"Yes, I know him."

Shen Changgong raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"Is it just an acquaintance? Is there any other relationship?"

"What...what does it matter? Comrades? Comrades? That's all."

Yu Ziling, who was standing by, heard this and laughed.

"Really? Who is that? I've caught him writing letters with red cheeks a few times. Who is he writing to?"

Yang Hongying's face turned even redder and she said,

"No blushing, just a greeting between friends."

"Tsk, who would believe that? I want to see it but you won't let me see it."

Shen Changgong smiled and said,

"Su Wuan told me that he wants to apply to swap you with Wu Changge and have you join the Wushuang Army. What do you think?"

Yang Hongying raised her head in surprise.

"What? Did he really tell you that? How dare he do that? Your Highness, you must punish him severely."

"He only gave me a suggestion on military affairs. Whether to adopt it or not is up to me. How can I punish him?

If you are punished for speaking out, who will dare to speak out in the future?"

"That's right, Your Majesty, have you agreed?"

"I would like to ask for your opinion, as well as your superior's opinion."

Hearing this, Yu Ziling glanced at Yang Hongying with some reluctance.

There is only one female general, Yang Hongying, in the entire army. She is of similar age and martial arts skills to her, and has a carefree personality. She likes this good friend very much.

If I leave, I won't even have anyone to talk to.

After thinking for a moment, Yang Hongying shook her head firmly and said,

"No, I can't go."

"Oh? You don't like him?"

Shen Changgong asked with a smile.

"Who likes him? Not at all. No, that's not what I mean.

I know very well what Su Wuan is thinking. I know that he likes me and wants to be with me day and night.

But the world is not settled yet, and we still have a lot to do.

What if I were with him and he only thought about me every day and ignored military affairs?

What if I was in danger and he saved me at all costs, but ended up getting killed?

When I am around him, he tends to act on his emotions, which is a big taboo in the military, and it will also restrict his hands and feet.

Of course, the most important point is..."

Yang Hongying blushed slightly and said,

"He and I, a young couple, passionate about each other, what if we do something out of line and get pregnant?

Without three matchmakers and six certificates, without a betrothal gift and an engagement, without a formal wedding in a sedan chair carried by eight people, how can I still maintain my daughter's reputation?

I am the only one left in the Yang family. I am the most valued descendant in our family. The Yang family is full of loyal and brave people, and the only daughter must be married off in a grand manner. She can't be married off with a big belly, right?

Besides, how could you fight with a big belly? In the middle of a battle, you tell the enemy you don't want to fight anymore and go get married and come back to fight?

That’s no joke.”

Shen Changgong laughed loudly and said,

"You're quite understanding, I just don't want you to have any regrets.

Don't do anything that will make you regret it for the rest of your life."
